25 Weeks

My Henry is almost 6 months old!! Can you believe it?!

I'm excited to take his 6 month photos - I've been browsing photographers websites for pose ideas.

Nursing: Continuing with 5 times a day, all is well.

Solids: To combat some of his nighttime wakings, we bumped up his solid amounts. This boy loves to eat! I think I'm going to add another tablespoon to each meal, because he's starting to still be fussy once the food is gone! Here's our meal plan for this past week:

7:00 nurse, 2 T cereal, 2 T fruit
10:30 nurse, 2 T fruit, 2 T veggie
2:00 nurse
5:00 nurse, 2 T cereal, 2 T veggie
7:00 nurse

He now eats bananas, applesauce, pears, green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, and rice cereal.

Waketime Length: Still 2 hours.

Naps: Still 30-45 minutes. Sometimes will fall back asleep in swing for another hour - about once a day.

Nighttime Sleep: Henry has been waking up at 3am consistently for the last week. We've tried feeding and CIO and it doesn't work. Last night he fussed/cried for 2 hours (I fell back asleep after turning monitor down a little, not off though... opps!!) The only solution that works is bringing him to our bed, where he promptly falls asleep until 7am. Bad Habit? Yes. Worth it for me to get sleep? Yes.

Milestones: He now can roll both ways, and is making his way across our floor. He's really working on crawling, he just needs to figure out how to get his arms involved!
